He found the tablet in the east trench and put it on his desk. Now there's something in his basement that hasn't eaten in eight thousand years, and it can't take a single thing from him unless he says yes. Tobias Rooke says yes. By morning every woman on campus is looking at him. By Friday one of them is dead. And the thing in his basement is not sorry, is not jealous, is not 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 she has a word for---she just doesn't like other people touching what's hers. The tablet is cracking.

I was four years old the first time I touched a dying man and he got up again. My mother made me promise never to let anyone see. She was right about that. She was right about most things, and then she died, and the last thing she ever told me was a name I'd never heard. There's a fire in me. It's been there since before I was born, and it isn't mine, and it's killing me---three hundred years late and nineteen days fast. Only the Barons can teach me to control it. Fallen gods. The kind that eat girls like me to make the hunger stop. So I walked into Hell's Gate on my own feet and offered them a trade. The cold one claimed me. Called me 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥. Never my name. The beautiful one wept gold and begged me not to let them love me. The silent one asked me what I wanted, and I didn't have an answer. And one of them was kind to me. Only one. From the first night. That's the one I should have been afraid of.

Lagos broke Nwoke Ugwu three times. Two contracts. One betrayal. Then three years hiding in Enugu, watching his dream rot on a dead laptop. Now his best friend is gone---and he left Nwoke two things: an unfinished song, and a promise no sane man would keep. So Nwoke goes back. Back to the city that ate him alive. No money. No name. One rule: this time, he doesn't run. Then a girl laughs at him from the back seat of an Uber in traffic. Then her family hands him everything he ever wanted. Then he meets the one person he was never supposed to want---at the worst possible dinner table in Lagos. They say third time's the charm. Charm is how he lost everything. This is not a love story. This is a confession.
